A botanist is tracking the height of a plant. The table shows the exponential relationship between the time , in days, since the plant was first measured and its total height , in centimeters. If the plant's growth follows this pattern, which of the following equations best represents the relationship between and ?
| Time (days) | Height (cm) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 12.00 |
| 1 | 13.20 |
| 2 | 14.52 |
